Gigas

Much like the game Breakout, the player controls the “Vaus”, a space vessel that acts as the game’s “paddle” which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field, attempting to bounce it against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear. When all the bricks are gone, the player goes to the next level, where another pattern of bricks appears. There are a number of variations (bricks that have to be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to enhance the Vaus (expand the Vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level, etc.), but the game play remains the same.

At round 33, the final stage, the player will take on the game’s boss, “DOH”, a head resembling moai.[1] Once a player reaches round 33, he must defeat DOH with his remaining extra lives because there are no continues on the final round.
